Post spacing calculator

Enter a start time, an end time and how many posts you want, and this calculator splits the window into evenly-spaced times — real arithmetic, not a rule of thumb. Nine to nine with 6 posts, for example, comes out to one post every 2 hours 24 minutes: 09:00, 11:24, 13:48, 16:12, 18:36 and 21:00, the first and last posts landing exactly on your start and end times.

Calculate your post spacing

An end time earlier than the start spans past midnight.

How to use the post spacing planner

  1. Enter your start time. Type the time of your first post of the day, for example 09:00.
  2. Enter your end time. Type the time of your last post; an end time earlier than the start is treated as spanning past midnight.
  3. Enter how many posts. Type the total number of posts you want spread across that window, from 1 up to 100.
  4. Read the generated times. The calculator returns exactly that many times, evenly spaced, with your start and end times as the first and last.
  5. Apply the times to each account. Use the generated schedule as your posting times for one account, repeating the calculation with different windows for other accounts.

Worked examples

09:00-21:00, 6 posts, every 2h 24m

A 12-hour window (720 minutes) split across 6 posts gives 5 intervals of 144 minutes each: 09:00, 11:24, 13:48, 16:12, 18:36, 21:00.

10:00-14:00, 2 posts, at the endpoints

With only 2 posts, the single interval spans the whole window, so the two posts land exactly at 10:00 and 14:00.

Post spacing calculator FAQ

How exactly does the spacing get calculated?
The total window in minutes is divided by one fewer than the post count, so the first and last posts land exactly on your start and end times.
What happens with only one post?
A single post is placed exactly at your start time, since there is no window left to space it across.
Can I plan an overnight window that crosses midnight?
Yes — enter an end time earlier than the start, for example 22:00 to 02:00, and it is treated as spanning past midnight.
What is the maximum number of posts I can plan for?
Up to 100 posts in a single window.
Does this account for different time zones per platform?
No — every time is a plain local clock time; apply the same calculation separately for each time zone you post in.
Does the planner store or send my schedule anywhere?
No. The times are computed entirely in your browser as you type — nothing is uploaded or saved.
Is this the same as SkedCast’s best-time recommendation?
No — this is pure even spacing across a window you choose; the best-time tools instead suggest which times to target in the first place.
